In a globalized, dynamic economy, organizations must oversee their entire supply chain to ensure success. The CIPS L3M6 module stresses that responsibility for supply chain activities—covering environmental impact, ethical sourcing, and compliance—is critical. Globalization increases scrutiny from consumers, regulators, and media, while rapid changes (e.g., climate policies, technology) demand adaptability. For instance, a firm ignoring supplier emissions risks reputational damage and regulatory penalties, undermining competitiveness. Conversely, responsible management enhances resilience, brand value, and market access, making this statement true. This aligns with LO2’s focus on environmental accountability across supply networks.
